Workers tell KRON4 that most who stole prize items from the carnival then destroyed them. Pieces are still scattered in the dirt lot where the carnival was held.

At least one worker called this domestic terrorism.

Police say they received multiple calls about a large crowd and disturbance, saying there was possible vandalism and two people who were injured.

Those people were later transferred to the hospital but no arrests were made.

Those who attended summed everything up in one social media video, which said:

“This is in the aftermath of a mob striking at Butler Amusement Park. They just started down here at the end and worked their way up stand by stand, grabbing all the stuffed animals they could. It’s just crazy and they’re still going down there. This is in Oakland, California.”

Police confirm that two people were taken to the hospital in these fights.

Workers that KRON4 talked with said in Fresno, the city brings in metal detectors, something that is not done in Oakland.
